The countdown continues Monday today, My fingers are crossed That those who´re away, With England and Scotland And also with Wales, Won´t be returning back As injured males It does seem a strange time For these games to be, Arranged only days Before starting the spree, Those in the know Do sometimes know what´s best, But surely we could Have done without these tests But then the national teams Rate very low, With me, I´m afraid What goes on at Carrow, Is more to the point And where my preference lays, And no-one really needed These wasted days But one advantage Is if Ruddy picks, His first England cap up For guarding the sticks, Then when the sun bakes Down on his bald pate, He should avoid sunstroke While he stands and waits... ...and watches, as our New look defence this year, Show meanness that would Make old Scrooge even cheer, And if that is wishful Thinking, then I beg, Forgiveness, as I hop here From leg to leg Awaiting what this new Season has to bring, And who will end the year As Carrow Road king, Holty again maybe Or maybe not, What matters the most Though, is keeping our spot.

Hi RBF, never seen the point of friendlies this close to the big kick-off, because they are a step up from club matches, players tend to exert themselves without really being ready, sure-fire recipe for injury! Hopefully JR's had his injury training for the Euros, it does seem likely he will play! Good luck John, and stay safe!
Great poem as ever RBF What idiot would organise a friendly this week? Utterly pointless as Dave has said with the only possible outcome being negative.
As I said THURNBY, I´m keeping everything crossed this week, wouldn´t fancy losing any of our lads that are away, even for a few weeks. I don´t quite remember, but didn´t they do something similar in the week up to last season´s start too?
